First install the mate-extra group. Next after you start mate, hit f4 just once. Then try running screen-reader --replace <enter> and see what happens. That f4 key toggles accessibility on and off so only hit it once and that should help.

I finally have maid installed on my arch system. It looks different than ubuntu Nate because it does not have many applications on it. The major problem I am having is that orca does not speak. Espeakup in the command line works but as soon as I go into Nate orca although turned on does not work. Anyone have ideas in how to fix it. > > An help would be appreciated. > > > > Sincerely, > > Michael maslo > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > -- _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
